Sullivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dont wanna waste
the sunrise
suicide
im gonna
make you mine
a photograph
that blurred the lines of love
you dont wanna
waste my downtime
polarized
its the weakness
of the light
a photograph
that blurred the lines of love
I dont wanna let the sunrise down
But im focused on the sights and sounds
I can see it in your sunday shoes
That you've been around
Oh you've been around
Baby Im afraid to let you know
The secrets that im too ashamed to show
But i want you back
Here in pieces
I could patronize
The children of
the dark side
galvanized
in a meeting
of the minds
a photograph
that blurred the lines of love
I dont wanna let the sunrise down
But im focused on the sights and sounds
I can see it in your sunday shoes
That you've been around
Oh you've been around
Baby Im afraid to let you know
The secrets that im too ashamed to show
But i want you back
Cant get you out of my mind
I dont wanna lay the switchblade down
I want you out of my life
Before it cuts you out
Baby Im afraid to let you know
The secrets that im too ashamed to show
But i want you back
Out of sight
I dont wanna waste
the sunrise
suicide
im gonna
make you mine
I dont wanna let the sunrise down
But im focused on the sights and sounds
I can see it in your sunday shoes
That you've been around
Oh you've been around
Baby Im afraid to let you know
The secrets that im too ashamed to show
But i want you back
Here in pieces
The lyrics of Sullivan's song "Pieces" depict the inner turmoil of a person torn between his desire for someone and his fear of revealing his true self. The song opens with the lines "Out of sight, I don't wanna waste the sunrise, suicide, I'm gonna make you mine". These lyrics could be interpreted to mean that the singer is trying to hide his feelings for someone and is afraid of wasting his time on this person. However, he wants to make this person his own even if it means sacrificing himself in the process.
In the subsequent lines, a photograph that blurs the lines of love is mentioned. This could be interpreted to mean that the singer has a past with the person he is pursuing, which is now affecting their present relationship. The singer further reveals his fear of exposing his true self when he says "Baby I'm afraid to let you know, the secrets that I'm too ashamed to show, but I want you back here in pieces". He wants the person back but is too scared to show his vulnerable side, which makes him feel incomplete.
The chorus of the song repeats several times and emphasizes the singer's fear of losing someone he desires, yet he is struggling to come forth with his true feelings. In the end, he wishes to be alone as it will keep the person he desires safe from his emotional turmoil. The song concludes with lines "I don't wanna let the sunrise down, but I'm focused on the sights and sounds" depicting how the singer is trying to be strong and move on from his desire.
Overall, the song "Pieces" by Sullivan portrays the bittersweet feeling of wanting someone but being afraid to reveal and face one's true self.
